Jewelry

I wear my Daddy's big silver ring on my right hand. It always reminds me that he's watching over me (:

Yes, I wear little jewelry and only those pieces that have special/symbolic mearning. ..gone of the days of Ripka purchases.  I have a small pair of earrings that I luckily purchased from Evine in the old days when they sold 24K gold and the are in the shape of a phoenix bird...so perfect!  I frequently wear a pendent inscribed with the whole text of the emerald tablet as a reminder (it is inscribed on the front and back with a small emerald in the center with symbols in gold around the outside...it is not large).  It is a work of art as well as a sacred symbol to me.  Fashion jewelry has no appeal for me....but for those who love it, wear in health and enjoy.

Sounds like you found a Pandora's Box.  I have a strand of pearls my grandmother left me with a hand-written note that they were to go to me.  I think I treasure the note more than the pearls.  They broke on me twice.  Now I never wear them. 

I  also have an emerald and diamond 14kt ring my Dad had made just for me.  He picked out the stone, the setting, and more or less designed it.  Though these two pieces are valuable in price, the fact that I was chosen to be the recipient means more to me than the value.

Find a jeweler to restring her pearls. If they are quality pearls, have them double knotted for security. Pricing is usually by the inch.

Honor your gram's memory and show those pearls!

I agree, have them restung.  Ask for silk and have them double knot with gimp at the clasp ends, that is ususaly where they break.   Double Knot:  one strand of silk doubled at the needle and then knotted at each pearl.
